10.17.21 ICU 26

Nice quiet Sunday. Aimee made some progress in using less pain medication and getting a better, more comfortable respiratory routine. Her abdominal wound is continuing to be packed twice a day, but is decreasing in size. She had her foley catheter removed. A small amount of ostomy output started, which is very encouraging. Unfortunately, we found multiple skin issues today, blisters under her trach, a pressure sore and some split skin. One of the difficulties of being so restricted and difficult to move lately. Over the next couple of days they will slowly start weaning her off of sedation and anxiety drips. 



Ed went home to be with the younger 4 kids today. Both ends of this are so much easier to do together as a team. 💔
